heavy hitting. The audience was 81

do nothing with them. In the sixth
inning, however, Powell got his base
on balls and came in on a clean three
Dagger by Grady, who scored on a
long fly, making TWO runs for the To-
Gals. Before the inning concluded it
began to rain, and time WAS called.
After rather hard shower the play
was resumed, the grounds beng a
little muddy. The seventh aud eighth
innings were without results. In
the ninth the locals fell upon Maui
and raped him heavily for six hits
and Ave runs, two OF them being made
on tumble by Hayes at third and 8
wild throw to first. Darkness was
drawing on, aud after getting five rune
which brought the score up to z to

still more 80. By comparison with
those OF the same time last year they
show 10 per cent. gain, and the sec.

III per cent. The interstate act has
not hurt the railroads, but what 1t

The Ugly Heideggcr.

Heidegger's ugliness was declared i'm
possible to surpass. One of the courtiers
of George Ii wagered that he would pro-
duce some one who should be pronounced
uglier than Heidegger. He was allowed
few days in which to unearth his cham
pion, and it is said that he employed
them in personally ransacking the worst
slums in London. Somewhere in st.
Giles he found an old woman whom he
thought sufficiently plain to confront
with Heidegger. When the two were
put face to face the judges said that it
was impossible to decide which of them
was entitled to bear the proud title of
'ugliest being in London" A courtier,
however. suggested that Heidegger should
put ON the old woman's bonnet This
he did, and the additional ugliness it
gave him was such that lie was unani-
mously declared the winner. Chambers

A curious display of superstition was
lately witnessed at Maryhill, where
measles and whooping cough We're prev
alent. A travelling candy man and rag
gatherers cart, drawn by an ass, was
standing before row of houses little
off the highway. Two women, each the
mother of a child suffering with whoop-
ing cough, took up position one on
each side of the ass. One woman then
took one of the children and passed it
under the ass belly to the other woman,
the child being held with its face toward
the ground. The second woman caught
the child, and, giving it gentle somer-
sault, handed it back to the first woman
over the ass, holding its face toward the
sky. Each child was so treated three
times, after which the ass was allowed to
eat something from the child's lap. Sub
sequent inquiries showed that the moth
ers, whose number had been increased
by two others during the ceremony, were
thoroughly satisfied that their children
